And, you thought that the last was heard on the New Bern branding topic.

I was just reading this month’s (Feb.) Our State magazine. There is an article about how nice a town Statesville is and then, lo and behold, on page 35, they mention the city’s slogan, which is “Where It All Comes Together.” Sound a bit familiar? Yes, folks, right there in black and white.

So, not only were we ripped off for an outrageous sum; it wasn’t even original, but in fact copied from another city and right in our own state! Did they think that that would never be found out?
